Dragon King Hall's Legend

Chapter 2000: Zhao Donglai Wants to Run! Speak Clearly Before You Leave! Reveal the Truth!

"Jinyu, you’re here!"

Wei Qiankun saw Mu Jinyu coming to find him, and he smiled warmly as he spoke.

Zhao Donglai stood aside, his look towards Mu Jinyu very complex, but he hid it well and didn’t show it.

At this moment, he already knew what Mu Jinyu had done in the period after he left Dongyue Mansion.

So now he couldn’t put on the airs of an Institute Head in front of Mu Jinyu anymore, otherwise, he would be courting humiliation.

"Swish!!"

Just as Zhao Donglai was considering whether to greet Mu Jinyu to ease the atmosphere, Mu Jinyu’s expression suddenly changed, murderous intent surged forth, then he grasped, and a rusty Tang Sword was held in his hand, followed by a chilling blade light flashing, slashing towards him!

Zhao Donglai was so scared he nearly lost his soul, shouting wildly, "Mansion Master, save me!"

"Clang!"

Wei Qiankun vaguely knew some of the conflicts between Zhao Donglai and Mu Jinyu. He wasn’t sure if Mu Jinyu wanted to kill Zhao Donglai because of those past conflicts?

But in the end, he stepped in to stop it.

He wanted to ask clearly first.

If it was indeed just because of the old conflicts that Mu Jinyu wanted to kill Zhao Donglai, he wouldn’t let him do as he pleased.

But if it wasn’t, and there was another reason, as long as the reason could convince him, he would let their grievances be.

Wei Qiankun raised his hand to block the slashing blade light of Mu Jinyu, feeling faint pain in his fingers, but he kept a calm face and frowned asking, "Jinyu, why do you want to kill him?"

"Mansion Master, save me!"

Zhao Donglai didn’t know if the reason Mu Jinyu wanted to kill him was due to past grievances or because he had learned some truth, but he knew that being in Wei Qiankun’s mansion, it wouldn’t be easy to escape, so he hid behind Wei Qiankun first.

He believed that Mu Jinyu shouldn’t know the truth.

Otherwise, when he came back to Dongyue Mansion in the past few days, Wei Qiankun and the others wouldn’t have treated him normally without showing any murderous intent.

And believing in Wei Qiankun’s character, if Mu Jinyu wanted to kill him just based on old grudges, even if his talent was excellent, Wei Qiankun wouldn’t let him do as he pleased.

So he was willing to gamble, rather than running around looking guilty!

Mu Jinyu slashed with intent to kill the traitor Zhao Donglai, but was intercepted by Wei Qiankun.

He felt a bit surprised but then thought that it was indeed in Wei Qiankun’s nature, so it wasn’t unexpected, and he spoke directly: "He is the traitor of the royal clan who informed the Ji Clan and Yao Clan, which led to the two royal clans attacking us!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, Wei Qiankun’s face immediately changed, turning grave and cold!

The attack of the Ji Clan and Yao Clan on Dongyue Mansion had caused them great losses, with many students and mentors perishing.

He was puzzled why, upon emerging from Duanchang Gorge, they couldn’t identify Mu Jinyu as the culprit, and yet after some time, they suddenly discovered it was Mu Jinyu and came to besiege them.

He couldn’t figure out the truth.

But if Mu Jinyu wasn’t lying, and Zhao Donglai was indeed the main culprit, the first to not spare him would not be Mu Jinyu, but himself!

"What?!"

Hiding behind Wei Qiankun, Zhao Donglai didn’t expect Mu Jinyu to actually know the truth, causing his face to change drastically, his heart plummeting into an icy abyss, his whole body cold.

Then he quickly shouted in explanation: "Mansion Master, don’t listen to his nonsense, I haven’t done anything to betray the academy!"

While speaking, fearing real trouble would come, he immediately prepared to flee from the mansion master’s mountain peak.

Boom!!

However, as he was about to escape, a terrifying, inescapable force suddenly descended upon him, crushing him so he couldn’t escape.

"Don’t be in such a hurry to leave, clear things up before you go!"

Wei Qiankun said in a cold tone.

The reason he initially protected Zhao Donglai and then stopped him because of Mu Jinyu’s words was because he didn’t know why Mu Jinyu wanted to kill Zhao Donglai, so he protected him. But knowing the reason Mu Jinyu wanted him dead, he certainly wouldn’t just believe Mu Jinyu’s one-sided words. Since Mu Jinyu wasn’t going to make a move again, he didn’t mind stopping Zhao Donglai to make him explain things.

If Mu Jinyu’s words were false, Zhao Donglai would remain safe.

But if true, Zhao Donglai would have to face death to atone!

"Mansion Master, he’s talking nonsense, don’t believe his lies, how could I leak anything? It’s all his fabrication to kill me..."

Zhao Donglai, unable to move, shivered as he continuously explained.

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly couldn’t speak anymore.

Wei Qiankun had forcibly "shut him up"!

Compared to Zhao Donglai’s character, Wei Qiankun naturally preferred to believe in Mu Jinyu.

After all, one was conveniently absent when Dongyue Mansion was in trouble, while the other pledged to protect Dongyue Mansion with his life, so he naturally trusted Mu Jinyu’s character more.

After silencing Zhao Donglai, Wei Qiankun turned to Mu Jinyu and asked, "Jinyu, you say he’s the one who leaked the secret, what’s your evidence?"

Mu Jinyu had calmed down and said coldly, "Mansion Master, when you led the group to Tiangan Secret Realm, you should have seen how they used the Round Light Technique to try and spy on the murderer after Ji Changfei and Yao Feiyang died?"

"Yes, they used the Round Light Technique!" Wei Qiankun replied.

He certainly knew what happened back then, even though he didn’t show up.

And at the time, the elders of those royal clans used the Round Light Mirror to try to reveal the murderer’s appearance, only to find it obscured by a blood color. So when the Ji Clan’s imitation of the Yang Kun Sword was unsuccessful, they believed their deaths might be due to a disturbance in the Tiangan Secret Realm, thus departing.

But after the series of events that followed, Wei Qiankun also knew that the murderer was Mu Jinyu.

However, he didn’t blame Mu Jinyu for it.

Entering the Tiangan Secret Realm was a matter of life and death, prosperity depending on fate. Weren’t many of Dongyue Mansion’s students killed in there too? He didn’t pursue it, and those royal clans were too overbearing.

Besides, from Mu Jinyu’s account afterward, it was Yao Feiyang and the others who first tried to assassinate Mu Jinyu, so their deaths at Mu Jinyu’s hands were deserved, weren’t they?

Yet the royal clans were utterly shameless to try to hunt down Mu Jinyu because of it.

He certainly wouldn’t blame Mu Jinyu because of this.

"Then Mansion Master, use the Round Light Mirror Technique on me now!" Mu Jinyu said.

"Alright!" Wei Qiankun nodded.

Then, he performed the Round Light Mirror Technique to spy on Mu Jinyu.

Yet strangely, although Mu Jinyu was right in front of him, the Round Light Mirror displayed only a blurred blood-colored image, making it impossible to clearly see the person being spied on.

Wei Qiankun, though mentally prepared, still felt astonished and praised when seeing this.

Mu Jinyu’s physique was truly too special.

At this moment, Mu Jinyu continued: "Recently, I felt someone spying on me with a Round Light Mirror, and found out it was Zhao Donglai. I didn’t feel anything at first, but soon after, Zhao Donglai left Dongyue Mansion, and the following situation, Mansion Master, you should be aware of!"
